[DXBase] Window Positions

2004年2月26日 16:52:32 -0500

Good Question Steve,
I kind of shy away from good ol' DOS commands, thought without good =
reason.
Do people still use DOS commands? I do prefer keystroking to mousing. =
But
I'm not confident on how FC would work when DXBase adds a line to the
DXB2004.ini file. Wouldn't FC show more lines not matching? The
spreadsheet trick is real fast. I don't look for difference I do it by
formula. I also don't have to copy and paste the DXB2004.ini file =
anywhere.
I just cut and past it. I'm more comfortable and confident with
spreadsheets. I use them all of the time.
73,

Why not just use FC to compare the files ?
